      Only if Pelosi is really losing control - she's not stupid enough. But, on the bright side, 2020 should be LOTS of fun... for the Republicans!

        They had to combine censure and impeachment to get 'a slim majority'. Actual support for impeachment: 22%

        Can we say 'partisan'?
        Or fake news

          They're doing it right now, Tea. They, the democrat House, are demanding the underlying evidence and grand jury testimony, the unredacted report, which they can only get under an impeachment inquiry. True, they are doing and end run around Pelosi's stance, although I doubt she is very much against the idea herself. Anything to hasten the release of the evidence. I just wonder what all you Trump supporters and defenders are so worried about. Don't like transparency all of a sudden?

            But you love fake news rogue, you're a big fan of Trump speak and FOX News, the two biggest peddlers of lies/fake news out there.

                Read the last sentence, CP. "Still, additional efforts are warranted, and some of those efforts could require legislation." Upgrading voting systems and requiring paper ballots would be a pretty good place to start, don't you think? And Btw, Moscow Mitch aquired that name, not only because of his aiding the Russians to influence this upcoming election, it's also because of his threat to accuse the Obama administration of raising the issue for partisan reasons in 2016.

                  Actually, if you weren't such a lazy goofus, you would realize that's NOT the last sentence in the article... I indicated that with the "..." at the bottom of the cited material.



                  But, like I said, this will not keep you from continuing to spew forth your idiocy over and over again. You're special that way.

                    Except for the fact, that those bills were that! Upgrading voting systems and requiring paper ballots is exactly what is needed.

                      Keep repeating that to yourself, Jimmy - I really didn't expect you to understand the article. It was written for adults.

                        Ok, I repeat, upgrading voting systems and requiring paper ballots is exactly what is needed. Moscow Mitch blocked that from even coming to the floor for a vote.

                          bold emphasis mine.
                          sorry JimL how and what the States use to do their balloting for elections is not up to the federal government it was not given to the federal government to decide how it is balloting for elections are handled and per the 10th amendment that bill was Unconstitutional

                            Your inability to understand the reasoning behind that is quite obvious. RAGE ON, Parrot boy!

                              Yeah, you forget - I'm reading the stupid thing. Hoping for a bombshell in those tiny redactions is pure fantasy.
